Alex and Siobhain Blinko aren't soakers—they shower. Unfortunately, the only room in their 75-year-old Toronto house that hadn't been remodeled before they moved in was the dark, storage- and shower-free bathroom. To transform it to suit their needs and aesthetic, they called on local kitchen and bath designer Beverley Binns. The young couple loves to travel, but with Siobhain expecting a baby, they knew they'd be spending more time at home and wanted to create an oasis reminiscent of the luxury hotels they'd visited over the years. "Since we were dealing with the main bath, it needed to look great and accommodate two adults at the same time," says Binns, who transformed the tub into a spacious shower with a sophisticated European-inspired design—a clean, simple form accented by chrome and glass.
